improved by reading specific books or completing

quests within the game.

Small Guns - Firearms covered by the use of this

skill: pistols (both revolvers and autoloaders),

sub-machineguns (SMGs), rifles, and shotguns. The

skill level is your base percentage to hit.

Modifiers include: weapon weight, range, darkness,

and cover. This skill is used automatically in

combat when you attack with the appropriate weapon.

Big Guns - Similar to Small Guns, but this skill

affects much bigger weapons: rocket launcher, mini-

gun, flamer, and other large weapons. This skill

is used automatically in combat when you attack

with the appropriate weapon.

Energy Weapons - Also like Small Guns, but it

affects any ranged weapon that uses energy cells

instead of conventional chemical propellants. This

skill is used automatically in combat when you

attack with the appropriate weapon.

Unarmed - The skill of punching and kicking. Very

few weapons will also use this skill (the armed

version of Unarmed), like Brass Knuckles. You must

not have an active item in one of your slots to use

this skill to its full ability, however. ITEM1 is

for punch attacks. ITEM2 covers using your feet

(don’t ask, it involves some weird yoga practice.)

Your character starts by just being able to punch

or kick, but there are more unarmed techniques than

that. As your character’s characteristics improve,

the type of unarmed attack will change. These

improvements are automatic, as long as the

requirements are met. There are two different

modes for each type of attack. Right-click on the

Punch or Kick button to change the mode from

primary to secondary. The Unarmed skill is

automatically used when you attack.
